Give legal recognition to Humanist marriages across the UK

Petition Details

Hundreds of people in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland each year choose to have a personalised and meaningful wedding ceremony performed by a humanist celebrant but their wedding is not a legal marriage. We believe that people of all faiths and none should be able to marry however they wish.

Additional Information

Religious people have a choice between being married by a civil registrar and being married by a representative of their religion who shares their approach to life. Except in Scotland, non-religious people have no option other than the civil registrar. We believe this should change.
